    Review of Mayer, R.; Knothe, F.; Shuo, H. (2022) Reflected beauty: Chinese reverse glass paintings from the Mei Lin Collection

    In this well-documented, bilingual, and richly illustrated catalogue, published for the long-anticipated exhibition Reflected Beauty: Chinese Reverse Glass Paintings from the Mei Lin Collection at the University Museum and Art Gallery of the University of Hong Kong (September 2021-January 2022), the authors give us a profound insight into the phenomenon of reverse painting on glass and mirror paintings, with a particular focus on those from the Mei Lin Collection assembled by the Sinologist, author, and translator Rupprecht Mayer and his wife Haitang Mayer-Liem. Composed of over one hundred works acquired in East Asia between 1968 and 2012, this is one of the world's most important collections of Chinese reverse glass paintings from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.Modern and Contemporary Studie

    No full text
    First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Mei-Fang Lin is first author on ‘Transcriptomic analyses highlight the likely metabolic consequences of colonization of a cnidarian host by native or non-native Symbiodinium species’, published in BiO. Mei-Fang conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in David John Miller's lab at James Cook University, Australia. She is now a postdoc in the lab of Hiroshi Watanabe at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan, investigating cnidarian genomics and evolution

    Evaluierung des linearen Modells von Lin und Tsai zur Prognose von Sterbewahrscheinlichkeiten

    No full text
    In einem Artikel von Lin und Tsai (2015) zeigt sich, dass eine einfache lineare Regression Sterbewahrscheinlichkeiten in vielen Fällen genauer vorhersagt als das verbreitete Lee-Carter Modell. Das ursprüngliche Lee-Carter Modell, das in diesem Vergleich verwendet wird, weist allerdings oftmals eine unplausible Diskontinuität im Prognoseintervall auf. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob die Methode von Lin und Tsai auch dann noch bessere Ergebnisse liefert, wenn diese Diskontinuität korrigiert wird. Außerdem wird vermutet, dass ein einfaches Random Walk Modell mit Drift ähnlich gute Prognosen hervorbringt wie die Regression von Lin und Tsai. Beide Fragestellungen werden bearbeitet, um die Qualität der Vorhersagen durch die Lin-Tsai Methode besser beurteilen zu können. Zu diesem Zweck werden in acht Ländern Ein-Schritt-Prognosen der verschiedenen Modelle verglichen. Dabei stellt sich heraus, dass die korrigierten Lee-Carter Modelle und selbst der simple Random Walk mit Drift im Allgemeinen bessere Vorhersagen treffen als die Regression von Lin und Tsai. Dieses Resultat lässt sich auch im Rahmen zweier Anwendungsbeispiele bezüglich Lebenserwartungen und Versicherungsprämien bestätigen. Die Qualität der Prognosen auf Basis der Lin-Tsai Regression erscheint demnach sehr zweifelhaft.Lin and Tsai (2015) suggested a simple linear regression that was shown to predict the mortality rates of some countries more accurately than the widely cited Lee-Carter model. However, the Lee-Carter model they used in their article may suffer from significant bias in the early years of the forecast. It is not clear if Lin and Tsai's regression is better than the bias-corrected versions of the Lee-Carter model. Furthermore, it can be claimed that the forecasts of an even simpler random walk with drift may be very similar to the ones of the Lin-Tsai model. It is the aim of this thesis to evaluate the performance of the Lin-Tsai regression in eight countries by comparing its one-step-ahead predictions to those of the above-mentioned models. Most cases show that the random walk with drift and the adjusted Lee-Carter models are superior to the method proposed by Lin and Tsai. This result is also confirmed in two additional applications where the models are used to price insurance products and to predict life expectancy

    This thesis is to study the political role of the People's Liberation Army from the approach of structure and function. The framework of the thesis consists of three major parts, first, the influence of Chinese traditional political culture on, and the formation of, the political role of the PL A; second, the influence of domestic political struggles and external military conflicts on the development of the political role of the PLA; and the third, the analysis of the transition of the PLA's political role from the structure and personnel arrangements of the CCPCC Within the above-mentioned three scopes, this thesis make a thorough discussion on the following: (1) The relationship between the structure of the PRC and the formation of the PLA's political role; (2) How has ideology influenced the army's political role; (3) What is Mao's viewpoint and his influence on the development of the army's political role; (4) What is the link between the army and the party, and how has this developed; (6) What accounts for the expansion of the PLA's political functions; (7) What is the influence of political factional struggles on the PLA's political role; (8) Is it political institution or military institution that controls the recruitment of the military elite; (9) What are the disparities between the military elite in handling international conflicts and what are their political considerations; (10) What is the Party's position in the army; (11) How have the Party’s important meetings and personnel arrangements influenced the rise and fall of the PLA's political role
